ment-The south Charleston Barn
Dancs-Notss and Personalities.
One or two social events Of q very sue
cessful nature have marked the past week
and that is about all there is to be said OF
it. The season has come when an adeu
should be said TO receptions. dances and
other indoor amusements, and their place
superseded by the sports and pleasures OF
the open sir. Lawn tennis, the picnic,
lawn parties. fetes and excursions to the
dreamy woods" will probably. in . great
measure, succeed the waning attractions of
hot drawing-roOms.
During the week Q great many young
people have returned home from school
and are in for no end of lark after the
routine of hard work, the latter and hard
est part OF which had to be pursued after
summer had gotten warmed up TO its work
and the air outside was golden with the
sun. When . sCciety reporter can think
up such expressions as golden with the
sun. he is all right for the business. So
much BY way of preface.

Willing Workers. a society of very young
ladies'. and the Boys Band, an
